On today's episode of 'Nerds Make the Darndest Things' ... photo

Sometimes I like to imagine what mixing two totally awesome things together would be like, Jade Cocoon-style. Perhaps Adriana Lima with a language I can understand, or a pterodactyl with a Moonkin from World of Warcraft.. I also like to dip my McDonald's french fries in my vanilla ice cream cone (unfortunately, that's not a clever metaphor for sexual activity, I'm just weird). But none of that compares to what "J. Grayson" came up with last night in his mom's basement.

Mixing Nintendo's "CD-ROMs are too futuristic for us" console of yesteryear with the good old Star Wars of yesterdecade, this modded N64 is sure to make the panties drop. Then after you realize your grandma is standing at your doorway butt-naked, I imagine a lot of screaming and a little therapy will follow.

So, where's the Dtoid robot helmet / Commodore 64 mod? Any takers?

[Thanks to Christian Ponte via Tanooki for the tip, and the brownies. Pretty much the best thing Sterling Jim has ever put in his mouth.]

that's pretty cool...I might take up that Dtoid helmet challenge. I'll have to got dig out my n64 from storage but it'll be worth it.

My girl dips her McDonalds fries in her vanilla milkshake. What the fuck is wrong with the two of you?

But that TIE Advanced n64 is awesome, so you're both forgiven.

You should try dipping your fry in her chocolate shake sometime, if she'll let you...

What, you can't appreciate the irony of playing Rogue Squadron on a Tie Fighter?

So he uses a Tie Fighter for the N64 and chooses Zelda for the photo. Where is your Rogue Squadron game?

I put the fries in the burger... but my GF does dip them in her shake... and then we have sex later on in the day, after we digest.

Aaaaaah... sex.

It's better than fries and ice-cream.
